After I post this message, I am going to go back and post all the links in a reply (yes, it will be long, but with 50 states & D.C., hey, that's life). Some may like the display here better, and some may like the display in the allvoices report better. Ain't freedom of choice great?

Most of the states don't have active election night pages yet, but check out PA - it is already running tests and has the template in place.

FLORIDAhttp://election.dos.state.fl.us /Miami is in Dade County and more than one U.S. congressional district.The 22nd District in includes portions of Broward and Palm Beach Counties and was central to the drama surrounding the recount in the 2000 Election.

MISSOURISecretary of State, Elections Divisionhttp://www.sos.mo.gov/elections /St. Louis is in St. Louis County and Missouri’s 1st and 3rd Congressional Districts. Although portions of St. Louis are in the 2nd District, it also includes St. Charles County, which generally votes Republican. Kansas City is in the 5th Congressional District and is primarily in Jackson County, with parts in Clay, Cass and Platte Counties.

NEBRASKASecretary of State, main pagehttp://www.sos.ne.gov/dyindex.htmlNebraska Elections Administrationhttp://www.sos.state.ne.us/elec /Omaha is in Nebraska’s second congressional district, and because of the state’s nearly unique way of allocating Electoral Votes (Maine does it this way also), Obama has an outside chance to win one EV here. Omaha is in Omaha County.

Please feel free to reply here or e-mail me at punditty@hotmail.com if you see any other fixes that need to be made or problems with the links.

Feel free to forward the allvoices link to Dems, GOPpers and Indies alike; as some of you may remember when I started posting in August, I am participating in the allvoices.com Excellence in Citizen Media Incentive. I know that I've been pro-Ron Paul and pro-Barack Obama after that, so I was thinking to myself, "What could I do that transcends partisanship that would be of use to everyone and be something people wanted to forward to their friends?"

This is what I came up with - let's just hope there aren't any repeats of FL2000 to keep us too busy on these sites Nov. 4-5th!

If I'm shown as having been active here recently it's either because I've been using the gallery, because I've been using the search engine looking up something from way back, or because I've been reading the most excellent UK by-elections thread again.

I anticipate that a number of states will have extended polling hours due to crowds and judicial rulings. Does anyone know what criteria the media will use to set a time to call if all or part of a state has extended polling hours?

Not sure if they've thought through that. As I recall, back in February, on Potomac Primary day, Maryland polls were held open later than originally scheduled, because of inclement weather, and the networks were all good about waiting until the revised poll closing time in order to release their topline exit poll results and to call the state. But that was a situation where polls were held open later in the entire state. If it's only part of a state, not sure what they'll do.
